Even then, scrolling on a tablet with that would seem annoying...
I suspect you are right.
I find it most prevalent on my SurfacePro 3 tablet running Win10/Edge. The issue seems to be the slight imprecising caused by putting my minger on the glass (rather than a trackpad), that triggers the drop.
I have a Dell Lattitide running the same software quite, and it also has a touch screen. If I use the mouse scroll wheel, no problem. If you instead use the touch screen, it tends to trigger.
I think in is indeed the small movements that touch-devices may generate.

Glad I'm not seeing that. I've tried it on half a dozen different Android and Windows 10 devices and it's working fine.

Hi Danny,
It doesn't happen on desktop browser any more, it seems (Firefox on Mac OS). I took screenshots on mobile and will upload those later. Top ad was a "quarter inch" strip for Walgreens which did lurch the display as the ad loaded after the page content. Page was still incompletely loaded, and I scrolled down to see a not-loaded placekeeper for a taller ad. When the page load % reached 100% the bottom ad still hadn't filled in.
LOL the pictures will surely make more sense than I do.
So we were working on lowering the sensitivity of the upward motion trigger in order to get rid of this issue. However, in doing so, we introduced other issues that need to also be resolved. In short, we are working on this still.
Yes, I found the lurching very annoying, but I also found a simple solution: make a contribution as a supporter, then presto, no ads!
(I say simple, but just now I've looked to see how to do this, and I can't find it.)
Since our latest update yesterday, is anyone who was experiencing the bouncing seeing any improvement? I am not expecting this, but just curious.
Thanks for sharing. Seems that using trackpads on certain macbooks are the most common variables in these reports. We'll try to get out something that fixes this soon.

I'm on Win10/IE11 and if I use the mouse wheel or the down arrow to scroll down, the menu bar alternates between dropping and hiding again on each mousewheel detent or down arrow.

The bouncing ist gone (on my MacBookPro / Trackpad use) to be replaced by a "fluttering" / flashing top-bar ...even more distracting than before

I don't know if any fixes are in place, but on my both my Macs (trackpad and mouse), the problem is still here.
After more observation, I believe this might be triggered by an "endOfScrolling" event from safari. I did not look which js framework this forum is using, but maybe it is related to how that event is generated?

I am not sure what exactly you are referring to by 'bouncing'. If you are talking about the bugs that we have been discussing in this thread, then sure that is objectively bad, however the behavior of a navbar (or portion thereof) appearing on scroll up is a pretty commonly used behavior in UI/UX design (particularly in mobile) and it's rather subjective whether people like that or not.
Commonly used doesn't imply 'good' design. On the web, popular patterns are unfortunately often the worst choice for both usability and performance. Web design profession doesn't have any quality bar or certification.
If you like this behavior it's your site, do what you like. As a user i hate it and would like a way to avoid it.
An additional note on the hiding bar. As moderators, we must scroll all the way back to the top to access reports. The previous functionality was that the reports would be visible anywhere in the vertical navigation of the page. It's a bit cumbersome and my personal preference would be to float the moderation bar at the top of the display, no matter where you are in the page.
